Eric - Thank you for understanding my comments. Also thank you for not taking my word and testing out for yourselves, knowing no one is perfect and we shouldn't ever take the opinion of a player, a mouthpiece maker, or anyone's word without checking out things yourself. If the Vandoren M series mouthpieces were shorter they would be ideal for his situation, but in this case I wouldn't suggest it. If the BD5 mouthpieces weren't so open at 1.13 this would be a great mouthpiece. But for beginners this could cause bloody lips and also cause the player to hate clarinet playing.
I'd love to see "apaul001" jump to a 2 1/2 reed for a month and then a 3 strength reed BEFORE buying a mouthpiece. Then deciding on a mouthpiece will be a lot easier as his embouchure may be more stable; however maybe the mouthpiece now is all chewed up, forcing him to play on light reed strengths. Hard to say. As we all know just a tiny nick on a facing or the table and the tip can cause a mouthpiece not to play.
